Sandro,

Your control touch panel is their part number #140-1179. When I bought my coach used mine also did not work properly and I replaced this panel to get back to normal functionality. You can download a lot if information on your leveling system here:

There is a trouble shooting guide beginning on page 14 that may be useful in isolating any loose connection/low voltage issues you may be having. A new control panel has the electronics included in a board 'sandwich' and connects to the system harness with a single flat cable to communicate with the rest of the system. Your issues are indicative of a loss of this communication... This panel is expensive to replace -- about $535 or more...here is one source: http://rvcomponents.visonerv.com/cgi-bin/md/M1710/s1.pl

How did you discover the button combination that gets it to work for you in its present 'lights off' condition? Was it in as service bulletin somewhere? It sounds similar to the TipSheet 0204 procedure to enter and exit configuration mode...so you can try pressing the Left button three times within 10 seconds and then seeing if the control comes back to a "NORMAL" (not configuration mode) state. I have high-lighted that step below using bold font.
